1. TRANSACTIONAL MODEL Created by: Fiona Bunag

2. INTRODUCTION The transactional model, unlike the linear, recognizes that communication is a simultaneous process and therefore switched both the terms “sender” and “receiver” to “communicator.” It also adds “environment,” which embraces not only physical location, but also personal experiences and cultural backgrounds.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTIONAL MODEL

4. DISCUSSION Transactional model of communication is the exchange of messages between sender and receiver where each take turns to send or receive messages. Here, both "sender" and "receiver" are known as "communicators" and their role reverses each time in the communication process as both processes of sending and receiving occurs at the same time. The communicators can be humans or machines but humans are taken as communicators in this article to analyze general communication between humans. The model is mostly used for interpersonal communication and is also called circular model of communication. The transactional model is the most general model of communication. Everyday talk and interactions are also a form of transactional model communication. It is more efficient for communicators with similar environment and individual aspects. For instance, communication between people who know each other is more efficient as they share same social system.

5. CRITICISMS OF TRANSACTIONAL MODEL Without verbal response, the sender can not be sure that the receiver got the message as intended. Feedback is an important component in the communication process, especially in interpersonal communication as it gives a space to clarify misunderstandings. The transactional model gives the opportunity for a lot of noise because the communication is simultaneous. For example, when many people are talking at the same time in a meeting, the objective of the meeting will not be fulfilled.

6. Social Context - Social context in communication refers to the norms, values, laws and other restrictions of a society to communicate within a specific limit. Cultural Context - Cultural context is the lifestyle and identity of a person. Caste, class, race, ethnicity, gender, etc are the contexts which promotes communication. Relational Context - relates to relationship history and manners. A person talks with an old friend differently than a stranger. FACTORS!!

7. Pros: This approach offers more deep and understanding of how intra-personal, inter-personal, and contextual factors are at play in communication. People often make assumptions predicated on these contextual factors, and therefore it is important to acknowledge these elements in practising and learning about good communication. Cons : This approach requires analysis and critical reflection. It requires a broader understanding of historical, political, and social structures that affect communication. The specific factors affecting a particular communication encounter may or may not be possible to uncover. PROS & CONS

8. Transactional model relates communication to social reality of an individual or a group of people in social, cultural and relational contexts. Their responses cannot be predicted because they all have different backgrounds and mental conditions. Communication pattern depends on various factors such as physical, cultural, environmental, social, psychological, emotional, etc. Cultural systems, social systems and relational situations are the most over-powering elements of the communication in transactional model, while physical and psychological context has considerable effect on the communication, enhancing or undermining it. CONCLUSION

9. REVIEW OF THE TOPIC How does it occur? We can describe the Transactional Model by asking some questions, such as.. When does it occur? What is the Transactional Model? Who is involved?
